We did not receive the correct information because it was only sent by email, which did not arrive as the message was too large. My advice: always insist on posted information as well,

They were able to see me on short notice—just an hour before closing on a Friday evening, and without an appointment. The staff was incredibly caring and professional. I highly recommend this place with all my heart.

Thank you,

My partner and I recently bought our first home and used Barcan & Kirby as our solicitors. We are extremely happy with their service. Being a first time buyer we quite literally had no idea what we were doing. Maggie and Emma guided us through the process and didn't make us feel like any of the questions we asked were stupid (which some of them most probably were). From friends and family's stories about buying properties the advice I was given was to 'keep on at the solicitors' however I didn't need to as they kept us informed every step of the way.
I would absolutely recommend this firm to anyone for a solicitor.

Stephen and his team handled our sale and purchase. Efficient and straightforward service. They answered queries quickly and didn't mince words, which is exactly what you need when buying and selling a house. Their efficiency and directness made the process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended for those who appreciate a no-nonsense approach.
